Description

Indulge in the decadent homemade version of the classic Twix bars with buttery shortbread, gooey caramel, and rich chocolate layers. These bars are a delightful treat that will satisfy any sweet tooth.


Ingredients

Shortbread Layer:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Caramel Layer:

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup corn syrup
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt

Chocolate Layer:

  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother texture)

Instructions

  1. Shortbread Layer: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cream butter and sugar, add flour and salt, press into pan, and bake until golden.
  2. Caramel Layer: Cook condensed milk, sugar, butter, and corn syrup until thickened. Stir in vanilla, pour over shortbread, and chill.
  3. Chocolate Layer: Melt chocolate and oil, pour over caramel, and chill until set. Cut into bars and store in the fridge.

Notes

  • You can substitute dark chocolate or semisweet chips for a richer flavor.
  • To make them bite-sized, use an 8×8-inch pan for thicker layers and cut smaller squares.
